About The Service Guy


I've operated in and around Coventry for over 20 years and have many happy clients who find themselves with problems with home computers either newly purchased, inherited or bought some years ago. I'm also known as the UK's leading independent repair centre for Zero88 equipment - especially their legacy products.

I can clean out junk software, malware and viruses all using tools that don't have to cost you a fortune but with a reputation that you can trust.

I'm used to dealing with folks who don't understand computer geek talk and am more than happy to take time explaining simply what issues your computer has and how we can solve it. I do all of this in your own home where possible so you don't have to unplug cables, you never lose sight of your hardware so you don't have the worry of wondering whether it's safe.

I give honest appraisals of your computer system and if I can't fix it then you don't pay - I won't charge to take your computer away then tell you it's knackered. I also charge a reasonable hourly rate based on the speed of your computer not just on my time sat waiting for it - this way, we all feel that we're being treated fairly.

Ian came to the rescue when we had faulty faders on our FLX lighting desk. He replaced them and did some other minor work to get the desk back into tip top condition. Very helpful guy, good price, delivered on time. Thank you.

Ian came to my rescue when our lighting desk demonstrated a somewhat unusual fault. Not only did he locate the fault and repaired it, including liaising with Zero 88, he gave me a very full and useful explanation of the problem and exactly what had been done to remedy it. He was also very honest with the charges which was appreciated. Although I hope I never need his services again (unlikely though this may be), any future problems and I will be heading directly to him for help and guidance. Many thanks Ian.

Ian was very helpful when we needed to repair our lighting desk. He was very fast and friendly in correspondence. Sent us the parts quickly along with good advice on how to carry out the repairs ourselves, saving us a lot of time and money!

Recommended by Zero88. Ian quickly came up with a cost effective solution to a problem with our FLX desk along with a more detailed plan if that did not work. Fortunately the first solution proved effective but will definitely keep his details on file in case of future problems.
Response : Glad to be of help! Good luck with your winter programme of shows :).

I reached out to Ian for help identifying and tracking down a PSU for my discontinued Zero88 lighting deck. He quickly identified what I needed and ordered a spare, which arrived a few days ago, just in time for my next show. Would definitely recommend!
Response : Glad I could help out - hope the show goes ok :).

Ian was recommended to us from zero88 as we have an old lighting box for our school stage lights. It had stopped working and we couldn't afford to buy a new one! Ian has been amazing! He has fixed our box in super quick time and returned it promptly. He also had to fix some damage which occurred in transit and only charged a minimal fee. We are a very happy customer and would highly recommend. We will definitely be using Ian again, if needed, to keep our box in good working order! A big thank you!
Response : Glad to help - we got there eventually despite the hiccups :).

Asked about a zero 88 psu. Got back to me promptly with answer. Can't ask better than that.

Ian (The Service Guy) was recommended to me by Zero88 Customer Services, when I had contacted them regarding spare parts for a discontinued product. Ian could not be more helpful, he replied quickly and was able to assist with the parts that I required, sending them to me the very next day. I highly recommend The Service Guy, and will definitely be using his services again. .

I had problems with my computer, Ian came to my home at the time agreed fixing the problems also explaining the issues at the same time. He changed me a very fair price for work carried out. I had a few niggles a week later I called Ian on Saturday and he came out on Monday fixed the problem and didn’t charge me for the visit. I would certainly recommend The Service Guy.
Response : Thanks Graham - always happy to help.

I had a virus on my PC after my grandchildren visited and Ian cleaned out within an hour whilst explaining what he was doing. I'm thinking of buying a tablet and will be asking for his advice too.
Response : Glad I could help - give me a call when you next need me.
